To him, music is his business hence he is ready to record a song for any political party on the basis of business and not affiliation.

“I will do it with my band, therefore, any amount that will be sufficient for the operational cost of the band group is oK”, he affirmed.

On the other hand,

The “Yen Kakyere Agya Se” crooner however added that he is not ready to tolerate any “God Bless You”

as a form of appreciation for the job.

Asked which political party he belongs to, the legend said,

“For politics, I have no affiliation because politicians are some kind of people who can easily mess up your music career with their utterances. Today one will say this and the next day the other will say something else”. He told Tony Montana the host of the show “Flavour Zone”.

Yaw Sarpong who has over the years released very inspirational songs either. He has 26 albums to his credit.
